Commercial Bunn Liquid Coffee Ambient Dispenser

Suitable Environment

Liquid coffee dispensers offer businesses a convenient way to serve customers without the guesswork, wait-time and mess that comes with grinding and brewing. The Bunn Liquid Coffee Ambient Dispenser pours hot coffee into individual cups or carafes for a variety of serving options. These high-output and low maintenance machines are perfect for businesses such as cafeterias, college dining halls, offices, c-stores or anywhere a high volume of coffee is served. Depending on your electrical connection, you have capacity options of 125 five-ounce cups (120 volts), 385 cups (208 volts), or 512 cups (240 volts) per hour. The LCA is compatible with all ½ gallon and most 1 gallon bag-in-box (BIB) liquid coffee concentrate containers, so you can serve your favorite brand.

Operation

The Liquid Coffee Ambient Dispenser is simple for customers to operate by placing their cup under the dispenser and pulling the dispensing handle. If you choose to set portions, they can press the “portion” button on the front of the machine, pull the dispensing handle once, and it will pour the preset amount of hot coffee into their cup.
Programming LCA’s various features should be reserved for employee use, as it will require a more advanced knowledge of proper coffee tastes and the machine’s technical functions. However, users will be guided by the LCA’s detailed manual and its easy-to-use LCD display located behind the splash guard panel out of the reach of customers. Programming temperature, flow rate, and the FlavorGard can be completed using the up and down arrows below the display.

LCD Display

The Liquid Coffee Ambient Dispenser’s LCD display allows you to program the machine’s features and stay aware of the machine’s status at all times. The LCA will alert you when it needs to be rinsed or if the BIB is running low or empty. You can also protect the display with a password, so only certain people will be able to change the flavor and portion settings.

FlavorGard

Consistency is key in commercial coffee machines. The LCA’s FlavorGard system lets you set the liquid coffee concentrate to water ratio using the LCD display. A monitor inside the machine continually checks the mixture to ensure this ratio is reached, so every cup has a consistent flavor.

• Remove the drip tray, drip tray cover, and cup tray daily and wash each component in a mild detergent.
• Wipe down the exterior of the machine using a clean, damp cloth.

Periodic Maintenance
